#51

Assalamualaikum. Hello.

First half of the semester is quite okay, I guess? Can't tell the same for the second half. Will be hectic la kot because all the group works start almost around the same time just after mid-sem break and finished just before study week and then I have approximately 4-5 days of final exam (and I have 5 papers, mind you). AND I CAN'T GO BACK HOME AFTER THAT FOR THE WHOLE SEMESTER BREAK AND HERE'S WHY.

Apparently, I have to have my internship with the company that supports my studies. Okay, that's good. Meaning to say, I tak payah susah-susah cari tempat intern. The internship will last for 12 weeks. From June to early September. Yes, people. It's during fasting month and all the way 'til after Raya. Okay, that's cool. But here's the news I grudgingly received from the company - I will be assigned at a project site in JB. You heard that right. Johor Bahru. 300++ km away from home. And alone. Buka puasa sorang-sorang. And I have no transportation of my own. Not ideal, guys.

I am a family person. I dedicated my whole life (in this case, my semester break) for family time. Being far away from home is really not what I seek for. But then again, I have to accept and endure this wholeheartedly. My mother keeps saying, this is just an experience. My father on the other hand keeps mentioning about rezeki. Well, you can't deny them, can you? I'm still in the phase to absorb all these.

(Cries at the corner).
